A parfait is a dessert, but it is also the French word for perfect.
It's funny that you mentioned Skyward Sword, because I was just recently thinking about how I never finished that game due to feeling burnt out by it. It had some cool ideas, but I found the combat really tedious and grew tired of it a few dungeons in. I wanna go back and finish it sometime, but I won't have easy access to my wii for awhile.

The music composer is Motoi Sakuraba, and yeah, his work for Tales has been very mediocre for a while. Which is unfortunate, because Sakuraba can actually do some incredible soundtracks if people let him.

The only main Tales game he hasn't done is Legendia, Go Shiina was responsible for that one, and what do you know, it actually has the best music in the series.

Sakuraba is okay when he tries to experiment, but most of the time he ends up just leaning on the same chirpy town themes, overbearingly generic overworld themes, and "quirky" cutscene tunes. Hell, even his battle music is starting to get old, and that's clearly his strong point. Honestly, they just need to get a new composer for this series so Sakuraba can work on something else.

For those curious, this is what it sounds like when he gets experimental:

Vesperia's quirky tune/Rita's theme always reminds me of the Desian base theme from Symphonia even though they aren't that similar at all.

The ones that get me laughing the most are ones where Repede is facing away from the camera and/or in the complete opposite direction to everyone else. That dog clearly gives no fucks.

Holy Bottles are sold at shops. If you buy them and then use them, you can skip fights easier. [You have to literally rub up against the enemies to get into a fight with them.] Plus they won't run at you either.

I must just play too many games then cause splitting your party up sent a clear signal that something was gonna happen and I was gonna have to play everyone else. So I left Repede to hang back.

Yuri auto-recruits Repede during the cutscene talking about splitting up, so I don't think you can actually do that. Scooby and Shaggy stick together.

Yes, gently caress playing with a good physical attacker, a good mage, and a healer for like five minutes where you don't even have to fight anything. That is literally the worst thing I can think of happening in a video game.

Nah man it would only be bearable if the physical guy was also a healer and the healer was also a mage.

I'm pretty sure you could have bought some holy bottles from Kaufman and just run past all the enemies without fighting them as well, but yeah, playing as Karol or Rita isn't really a punishment since they're pretty good. Karol doesn't have a problem against birds like Repede does since he has a shoryuken move that knocks them to the ground and Rita can exploit enemy weaknesses to do massive damage so even if you fight the enemies there shouldn't be a problem.

I stopped playing right after getting to the pirate ghost boat, so I never got to see the Dag fight. That was goddamn genius, I think I would have kept playing if I'd seen it. :allears:

Code Lyoko was just French, not French Canadian. Totally Spies was thought up by Canadians, but made by a French studio. :eng101:

I did not know that Totally Spies is still airing in Europe, and is on it's sixth season. There was a movie and a freaking event at the Palace of Versailles for the sixth season's premier. :psyduck:
